Screenwriter Kelly Karam Relishes Hard-won Success


In recognition of National Screenwriters Week, we thought there was no better time than now to shine the spotlight on a screenwriter who's been making a name for herself, one screenplay at a time.


In the highly-competitive business of screenwriting, Metro Detroit-based screenwriter Kelly Karam has found a way to stand out. And, with no formal training in the film industry, she's been racking up a number of highly-coveted and prestigious awards.


Her accomplishments include winning a Best Screenplay award for her script, Caroline Buxton’s Lipstick Posse, in 2019 at the 3rd Annual I See You Awards®.

Among a number of other notable accomplishments, Karam is also a Final Draft Big Break Semi-Finalist and a Page International Screenwriting Contest winner.


Karam's story is one of hard work, perseverance, believing in herself and networking. Yes, networking. You can listen to my report, which is featured on WWJ Newsradio 950, by clicking here.
